    "data": {
        "note": "Height needed to reach a field = distance ÷ glide ratio; the arrival height is what is left over. It only 'makes it' here if that arrival height clears a safety reserve (default 1,000 ft) for the circuit and approach — gliding to exactly zero leaves nothing for manoeuvring. Subtract wind, and never bet on the book ratio: a rough field or a draggy configuration eats into it fast.",
